Chapter 417: Decisive Battle

Safin vs. Hewitt, Fan Ju vs. Federer, the first match can be said to be a battle in which the former world No. 1s swore that they would save their lives, while the other match was a real challenge to the pinnacle launched by the current kings.

It can even be said that whoever wins this game will be the next football king, although it is not absolute, but everyone already has this understanding in their hearts.

Fan Ju's watch on hard court has always been inferior to Federer, and in the eyes of the outside world, this match is obviously not good for Fan Ju's side.

At the same time, it also proves that whoever occupies the hard court arena has more hope of standing at the top of the world, and the strength of the niche arena is only temporary.

Fan Ju also understands this, if Federer's red clay is strong enough, and his own grass occupies too many characteristic advantages, I am afraid that it will take an extra year or two to get to where he is today.

God seems to be helping him, allowing him to enter the tennis world at this time, witness Federer's rise, and grow to the point where he can compete.

"Maybe this is the reborn who has been favored by the heavens!" Fan Ju sometimes has to believe this, and the coincidence can't help but be amazed.

Recently, after Yan Ximu temporarily left Fan Ju, he has never stopped, and according to Fan Ju's memory and instructions, the pace of large-scale acquisition of domestic emerging network companies has not stopped at all.

Some time ago, I also acquired the enterprise of the starting point Chinese network, which has a lot of novels about writing rebirth, so that Fan Ju can't help but shake his head, his real experience, I'm afraid it is not as good as those novels, sure enough, art comes from life but is higher than life, and it can't keep these authors. I don't know that the one who is the same as myself has an incomplete soul from the future.

Safin and Hewitt started first. In order to defend their ease, the two fought with all their hearts. Safin has a strong forehand, Hewitt is quick on his feet, and he plays very solid defense from the baseline.

However, compared to Safin, Hewitt has more excellent serving ability in addition to defense, although he does not play much at the net, but his agile feet make him naturally have a faster landing speed than others.

Safin was defeated after all, and even dropped a racket halfway, and he had indeed come to this point. Not being able to make it to the final was indeed a big blow to Safin.

Unable to beat Federer, perhaps not beating, and now losing to Hewitt, Safin, who has recently recovered from two consecutive Masters, has a clear idea of where he will find himself in the future.

Hewitt's advance also means that the winner between Fan Ju and Federer will face his challenge in the final.

For Fan Ju, as long as he wins and Federer, it is equivalent to victory, and for Federer. defeated Fan Ju and Hewitt, otherwise not only would the points not increase, but also face the big trouble of deducting 350 points.

Fan Ju rose 200 points, and he deducted 350 points. With the gap between them, this is not an acceptable ending.

"It's stressful!" Fan Ju subconsciously turned the racket and watched the ball rise and fall rhythmically. Keep your brain focused before the game.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, and at this time Fan Ju's adrenaline was already secreted to the fastest. He believes his opponent is the same.

Unlike Grand Slam finals, this match could determine the future of tennis. And both of them understand the meaning of this.

This is just a game between the two of them, but behind it may involve hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in capital flow, which is related to advertising, broadcasting, event hosting and other aspects.

And just for the two of them, even if they don't care about these, they have to fight for victory or loss, Wen Wu is the first and Wu is not the second, Fan Ju and Federer are not willing to be this second place.

After all, what should be faced is still to be faced, and when the staff came to find Fan Ju, he was ready, and his eyes had returned to his previous calm state when the racket was in the bag.

After walking not far out of the door of the lounge, Fan Ju saw Federer waiting at the entrance of the passage, unlike usual, the two did not talk, so quietly separated on both sides.

You can feel the restlessness of the staff on the side, and you can also see the camera footage that captures the scene before entering the venue in front of the two people.

But at this moment, there is only themselves for the two, and the opponent is only themselves.

"I didn't expect it to be so popular, it's harder to buy than NBA Finals tickets." There was an Asian man of extraordinary height in the audience, and the local Houston crowd could call out the name of the Rockets' leading center even if they didn't watch basketball.

Fan Ju came to Houston, of course, there was no reason not to see Yao Ming, but in the first few days, Yao Ming was playing away in a row, and finally returned to Houston before the finals, and finally caught up with this crucial game.

Yao Ming sat next to Ye Li, and at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, he led Ye Li to watch the game, and finally really disclosed this relationship to the outside world.

And now he is openly taking his girlfriend to watch the brothers' game, and he can't help but ridicule the last few rounds while waiting.

In the final analysis, Yao Ming only understands basketball, and other sports are not as familiar as online games, but Fan Ju is different, and good friends who are also working abroad have to come over to support him.

Yao Ming used the VIP ticket given by Fan Ju, so naturally he didn't have to worry about not having a ticket, but at this time, there were a large number of spectators outside the arena holding signs and willing to buy a ticket at a high price.

But everyone knows the importance of this game, not to mention the past few years, it may even go down in history in the future, and if you miss the opportunity to watch this game in person just for a few hundred dollars, I am afraid that it will become a regretful memory when you are old.

The audience who bought the package in advance naturally rejoiced, and even if it was just this game, it was worth the value of the entire package.

Of course, many people have expected this, and they have made a lot of money by hoarding packages.

Houston has famous aerospace centers and high-tech companies, which also means a large number of people with large pockets, and Yao Ming has laid a foundation for Chinese audiences here, and the appearance of Fan Ju has also accounted for a lot of brilliance.

More than 10% of the audience of Chinese descent in the stadium are definitely die-hard fans of Fan Ju, and among the audience in Houston, USA, the number of people who support Fan Ju is also more than 50%.

The combination of the two gives Fan Ju a certain home advantage, and next year's Masters Cup final will return to Shanghai, which is probably the worst news for Federer.

With Fan Ju and Federer entering, the whole arena was noisy, applause and cheers, making the arena noisy at the same time, but also making the atmosphere of the game further warm.

Sitting on the edge of the court, Fan Ju pulled out his racket, which had just been threaded before the game, and the elasticity and hardness were in line with his habits.

Some players have high requirements for stringers, and at the same time, they are also very picky, and the fan is usually relatively casual, as long as the tension is stable, there are not too many requirements.

However, Fan Ju tried for a long time before today's game, and spent a lot of time for 4 rackets, not because the stringers are not skilled enough, and those who can string players at the Masters Grand Slam are the top masters in the industry.

It's that Fan Ju can't help but want to keep improving, like nervousness, paranoid asking for some effects that have not been seen in the past.

"It's the same for both of you, and thankfully it's not a Grand Slam." Fan Ju knew who the other person in the stringer's mouth was, Federer, and he was the only one who could be so nervous today.

Yiqiē started in the order of the ordinary game, but today with a hint of extra solemnity, he watched the coin fall from the referee's hand to the ground with a straight face, nodded, and the two began to prepare for their own games.

"Serve later? Looks like we're going to have to get the hair extensions right first. Fan Ju thought as he warmed up with the serve.

Federer's serve is actually good, the speed is not too exaggerated, but the effect is top-notch, and he is one of the few players in tennis who can use the topspin serve as a real weapon.

Fan Ju's topspin serve, which is faster than the average of his opponent, is not powerful enough, and once he adds stronger spin, the stability of the ball will deviate from the effect he wants.

The stability of the serve far exceeds the power, and if Roddick's high-speed serve does not have a certain percentage of goals, I am afraid that it will not be possible to reach the top position in the world by serving.

Fan Ju and Federer's serve are not top-notch, but they are both sub-top-notch, so if Fan Ju wants to give his opponent a problem first, he must crack the serve.

It is not easy to catch the serve in just a few tenths of a second, and often when you determine the direction of the opponent's serve and start moving, the ball has already crossed the net and rushed to the bottom corner at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour.

Fan Ju stared at Federer's movements, trying to catch the movement of the second before the serve, from throwing the ball, swinging the racket, and body bias, predicting the target of the opponent's serve, and landing earlier to shoot back.

If it's just an ordinary hair extension, of course Fan Ju doesn't need to be so cautious, but what Fan Ju wants is to counterattack, give the opponent a solid dismount, and not waste his speed, these preparations are very necessary.

"Medium!" Federer swung his racket, and Fan Ju's body collapsed 0.5 seconds earlier.

Looking at the serve that flew to his side, Fan Ju roared in his heart, adjusted the angle of the racket, and blocked it sideways without exerting force, he was not worried that the power of the ball would not be enough, because the opponent's serve had provided him with enough momentum.

"Not good!" Federer settled quickly on his serve and did not move his cautious serve towards the net, but he clearly made the right choice, and if he had gone to the net, the ball would have been played directly into the net and would not have even had a chance to save.

Touched the ball, but the angle was too late to control zhì, the power was a little out of control, and the power of the serve was also lost after two consecutive stops.

The ball flew towards Fan Ju again very slowly, so slow that Federer wanted to make up for it after the ball, but he couldn't do that, he could only watch the ball fly to the net to meet Fan Ju's interception! (To be continued......)
